This mod is only for rooted Droids, and there are a lot of adb/terminal commands involved, so it is not for the faint of heart. What it does accomplish though, is well worth the work (IMO). Anyways, I don't think I can post the link, because it is a Milestone port, and therefore not open source, but let's just say you guys can find it. Here are some great instructions, credits to diakonv at Alldroid.

I extracted the modified.zip to a temporary folder on my computer.
I opened a command prompt and changed directories to that temp folder.
In the command prompt I typed:
adb push libaudio.so /sdcard/libaudio.so
adb push libaudioflinger.so /sdcard/libaudioflinger.so
adb push ap_gain.bin /sdcard/ap_gain.bin

JUST finished rooting for the first time. Then I come on and see this post,and man..this will make rooting WAY worth it!! Problem is,I have NO clue what to put where or to type. I saw the initial post here but am totally illiterate as far as commands go where,etc etc. Guess I'll just wait for a nice,neat package deal that does it for me....

Ok, did a test with this in my car (basic speakers but decent player)... put my droid on wide surround and bass punch... holy crap what a difference. I even put everything back on normal on the droid and tried to up the bass and stuff with my player but using the droid EQ always sounded better. I will also note that I do not experience the cracks and pops on pandora and I am using an OC kernel. This might be because I had the volume NOT at MAX on the droid...I did a test and if the volume is at max on the droid, I definitely get pops and crackles, but at a lower volume I didn't hear any whereas before I heard a few here and there. However, this test was only about a 20 minute test.

I'm dying to try to do this but I just don't know how to get that on my phone. I've been waiting for a EQ since I bought this thing and to now have one in view is KILLING me,lol. I'm rooted..what else do I need to get this on my phone? I don't have a ROM on there yet but am considering BB as I've heard much good about it. Will this work with BB? And exactly what does it EQ? Pandora? Slacker? 3? These are what I've got on my unit as well as DroidLive.

Nice. Extreme bass is a little too much for me, but it's probably cuz my Dre's overemphasize bass to begin with. I would imagine that it sounds pretty nice with a mid range set of ear plugs (such as my Koss's)

you can use rootexplorer to copy the files over to the correct directories, but make sure the file permissions are correct when you finish copying them over otherwise your phone might not boot correctly.

Yep. I actually listen mostly to Techno so often times the more bass the better. Though I bet that punchy bass eq would sound good with your hip hop. It seems like a small band pass right around the low mids. It's just awesome to have these options now though. All we need now is a graphic eq.

I spoke too soon. After installing the equalize and settings app I seem to have lost the ability to hear my calls over Bluetooth (Motorola T505). I am unable to hear a thing. I reflashed Sholes 2.05 and it is working fine again. Going to try agin....
